In addition to procurement demands, the KMM is pressing for the withdrawal of over a hundred police cases filed during the recent Sindhu‑Khanowari border protest, where dozens of participants were injured. Panjhar also called for compensation for the 450-plus youths wounded and for the families of those who lost their lives. He urged the administration to address water‑sharing disputes with neighboring states based on the Riparian principle and to protect Punjab’s interests in the Bhakra‑Beas Management Board.
